• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I missed you guys.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's jump in donald up this morning.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Seven something Am tweeted or tweeted the following. The United
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: States is in serious discussions with all caps. This is
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: all caps, a new and more reasonable regime now small
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: caps to end on military operations in Iran. Great progress
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: has been made, but if for any reason a deal
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: is not shortly reached, which is which it probably will be,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and if.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: The Almost Straits is not immediately.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Open for business, we will conclude a lovely stay in
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: electric generating plants, oil wells, and Karg Island, and possibly
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: all desalination plants which we have purposely not yet touched.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: This will be in retribution for many soldiers and others
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: that Iran has butchered and killed over the old regime's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: forty seven year reign of terror. Thank you for your
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: attention to this matter. So this typic called Donald Trump,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: uh making announcements of a twitter.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And oiling uh, oiling the world.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: But but let's let's let's take this, Let's make this supart.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So the first statement, first sentence is then I'd say
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: it says a serious discussion with a new and more
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: reasonable regime. I mean, I don't know what he's talking about.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: The regime in place still has a supreme leader. Maybe
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: he's injured, maybe he's not evolved, but structurally it still
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: has a supreme leader that is a mullah, right.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: The person Trump is supposedly negotiating with is the speaker
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of the Iranian parliament, who is a you know, a
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: hard line uh Iranian, who is you know, being a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: hard line of forever and being a part of the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: ROUMANI how many.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Romani was the first guy? How many was the second guy?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: How many romany small difference, But it's a difference regime forever.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So he's not anybody new.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: And it's not clear this guy who supposedly is negotiating
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: with the United States has any power, any power, because
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I mean the reality is that he is that he
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: is not where the power really lies. The power seems
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to lie with the Islamic Revolutionary God Core, and that
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is run by another guy who is a hardliner. And indeed,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: nothing about this new and more reasonable regime is nothing
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: about it is less IRGC and ILG see plus MULAS
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: are the old regime, and right now the regime is
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: IOGC plus Mullas. Now the balance might have shifted. Used
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: to be more MULAS less IOGC. Now it seems more IOGC,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: less mulas. IOGC might be less religious, and they'refore more
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: open to surviving. It's hard to tell, but these people
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: are not reasonable, They're not rational, they're not moderate. They're
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the same old regime that always existed. He's negotiating in
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the meantime. I mean, reports are that he constantly gets
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: contradictive responses from the Unians because the Ranians don't know
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: whatever respond right. He's given them fifteen conditions. They're not
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: going to accept those as Some are willing to compromise
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: of some of them. Others are not compromise on anything.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Others are willing compromise and other stuff.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: There's a power.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Struggle going on. Basically, the entire old hierarchy is gone.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: There's a new hierarchy. But my point is the new higharchy,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: it's just the same regime as old, just new people.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And to speak of the house, it's in the old regime,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it's not new. There's a power struggle going on. It's
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: probably true that Ahmed Vahidi, who is the head of
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the IRGC, the new head of the IRGC, because the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: old head of the RGC was.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Killed with how many on day one of the war.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: This is the new guy.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: But this new guy has been part of the regime
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: since the revolution, and he's old, old, you know, old Islamist,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: you know, it's part of this regime forever. And they
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: brought him out of retirement to head up the IRGC.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: But it's not fresh blood that might be moderate and
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and wanting to move to Toronto. Indeed, there's a lot
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of young people in the LGC who you might be
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: able to cut a deal because they are going to
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: be more pragmatic. They probably join the LURGC less for
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: ideological reasons than for financial reasons. One things about the
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: DIGC that's really really important to remember is that they
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: run big chunk of the economy and there's a consequence
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: and a lot of smuggling, and therefore they get a
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: lot of revenue from electricity, from oil production, from gas,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: they get a lot of revenue. They're so funding they
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: own industry, and therefore, you know, they might be younger
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: people who want the money but don't necessarily care about
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: the religious stuff. No, I'm not thinking about the art
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know who's thinking about the artish anyway. This
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: is the i ERGC. And who knows what's going on
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: inside the bunkers deep down as they communicate, how good
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: that communication is, and and what they communicate, how much
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: panic there is. There were many reports this weekend of
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: real conflicts between the president of you On, who claims
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: he has tried to resign several times and his resignation
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: was not accepted by the Supreme Leader, and the ILGC,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: because again, they aren't shambles. They've been there. Their leadership
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: is being eviscerated. They they maybe don't even know how
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: bad things are, how much of their economy is being devastated,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the industries crushed, their military. They might not know how
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: bad it is.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: The GC. Young people could very well.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Be moderates, could very well be moderates, were in it
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: for the money, versus the Old God who run the
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: IRGC today are ideologues. The young people probably not. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: mean if you even the even the old God. You know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: there was pictures after the June War. There were pictures
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: of one of the i GC's generals who survived, married
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: off his daughter and and there was video from the wedding,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: and they were like there were nobody who will hit job,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: everybody who's it looked like a Western wedding.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I mean it was, it was.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I mean a lot of these people are you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: they they play the fanatic religionists when it's convenient, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: they are in it for the money and in it
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: for the power the rest of the time. Even within
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the upper ascelone of the RGC, there's a mixture of
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: idealogues and non ideal lugs. Remember its power and its money.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: So uh, there was a there's a lot of infighting
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: right now. There's a lot of battles. This is why
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I think the regime is very, very weak. This is
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: why I don't get negotiating with him. What is the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: point of negotiating with him. They're not going to accept
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: all fifteen of Trump's requirements. Just do what's necessary to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: pull them down.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Trump is threatening, threatening to destroy their power generating plants,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: to destroy their oil wells, to destroy, not take over,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: destroy Cog Island, and even go after desalination. And I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: willing to bet anybody on here who's willing. He's not
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: going to do any of that. I mean partially because
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and you can see it today in the oil market, right,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, he announced us this morning.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Since he announced this, oil.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Has been on the trajectory up because the last thing
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: the oil market wants is Iranian oil off the market.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So it's one thing.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: If the US controls Iranian oil, bet the Iranian off
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: the market means a lot less oil prices going up,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and prices already reflecting that crude West Texas oil is
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: up to one hundred and four dollars it you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: last night it was under one hundred, and you know
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: it's been on Wednesday it was ninety. So it's gone
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to fifteen bucks over the last few days because of
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: fear the Trump is going to eviscerate. They're all understand.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Of course, one of the things that the market is
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: worried about is not just the disappearance of Uranian oil.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: They're also worried about the disappearance of you know, the
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Uranians attacking Saudi Arabia and Yoi and Quaits and maybe
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: even Iraq. All of that oil and all of the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Persian Gulf in flames, and basically, you know, the amount
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: of oil coming out.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Has been eliminated.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: So a lot of fear out there right now. And
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Trump is not helping with that fear because he shouldn't
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: be negotiating, he shouldn't be threatening things.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: He's not going to do.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I like the idea of retribution for the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: many soldiers and others that Iran has been butchering and
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: killing over the old regimes, not the sushime, God forbid,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: the old Rega's forty seven years of reign of terror.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Notice that everybody in the new regime, everybody in the
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: new regime was part of the old regime that killed
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: all those American soldiers. So as usual, he's just lying
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: and making stuff up. But he's not going to obliterate
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: any of that. I mean, he might take the island,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: he might try to take the oil fields, he might
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: do a bunch of different things. We'll talk about that,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: but he's not obliterating the oil fields. He wouldn't even
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, Israel just attacked the gas fields which were
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: more almost all for domestic production, any freakedom. So it
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: just does not It just does not happening, and the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: threats are not helping. The threats are just making it
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: so that the markets, you know, the stock market opened
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: up up today and is ending down as oil heads
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: towards I guess now you know, well into one hundred
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and four hundred, yeah, stabilizers it around one hundred and four.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, you can't have to deal with the devil.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: You can't negotiate with religious militant fanatics. The only thing
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: they understand is force, and what you need to do
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: is systematically undermine the capability is a projecting force, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: they're fundamentally you know, the two things three things that
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: need to happen. Three things that need to happen. One,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the US has to open the streets of homos. It's
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: stunning that it still doesn't seem to be happening. It
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: needs to at least lay out a plan for how
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: it's going to happen. It seemingly has now. International forces
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that are willing to join in opening the.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Homost streets do it do it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Take the almost streets and you control the oil going
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: to China or anybody else. So it's it's hard to yep,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just reading. There's always breaking news while we're talking.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: So take you know, uh, open up the Homo streets.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: If you need ground troops, use groud troops. If you
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: don't need ground troops. There's lots of things that can
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: be done without ground troops. Example, these islands we're supposedly
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: the ships are passing by and where you know, basically
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the Ranians are collecting a toll.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Now they're facilities on these.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Islands that are threatening these ships.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: That's why they pay a toll. Well, these islands should
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: be flattened.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I mean what you should do is basically, let the
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: civilian population of these islands and on the coastal areas
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: around the streets of homos, let them know that they've
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: got twenty four hours they evacuate, and then flatten everything.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Just bring the bee fifty twos with the big bombs
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: that you have and.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Just flatten the place.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Make it uninhabitable, Flatten the islands, flatten the shore. And
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: also by doing that you also make it easier to
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: notice if they're launching anything. Right, destroy every port there,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Destroy every facility that might be able to launch a
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: boat that might lay a mind.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Just destroy that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I've been talking about this for three weeks. Now, destroy
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the whole coastal area and the islands that are blocking
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the Homo Straits. And then if you need to occupy
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: some of the islands, do it. And then bring in
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the international convoy and including mine sweepers. The UEE has
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: some good mind sweepers and open up the streets.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Two.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Destroy the income producing industries of the IRGC.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Kill this source of revenue. That means like Israel did.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Israel bombed the big two big steel manufacturers in Iran.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Find out and I'm sure the US knows this. I'm
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: sure the CIA knows this, the Mossad knows this, everybody
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: knows this.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: What are the key industries.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: In Iran that the IRGC receives revenues from, and go
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: in and bomb them into bliving.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Just destroy them. Three.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Continue assassinating whoever you can in the RGC, going after
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: them one by one. Supposely there was all series of
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: assassinations this weekend.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: We don't know exactly who was taken out. The Uranians.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Finally, admitted that the chief of the Navy was taking
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: out last week, so that it might take a few
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: days to find out exactly who was taken out. One
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: of their big scientists was taken out. You know, a
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: bunch of people taken out this weekend. Keep that up,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Keep doing it, Keep doing it intensely, day in day out.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: Make them so they don't know. They are petrified, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: they keep turning on each other. And finally, and this
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: is somewhat emport but I think it has to be done.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Is you've got to figure out a plan. You've got
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: to figure out a plant to get the uranium out
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: right right now. One of the cards the uraniums have
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: is we have the uranium. You want the uranium, give
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: us a bunch of stuff, right we'll take it from them.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: The United States already has significant ground forces in in
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the area. They have marines, not as many as they want.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Marines are still coming in, but they have some marines,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and they have special forces. Israel have Special Force probably
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: operating in Iran, and that they could bring into Iran.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: You know, figure out a plant.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: It's going to be complicated, it's going to be you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: it's going to be intense. It's going to take a
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: few days, but basically, figure out if you know where
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: the uranium deposits are surround the places, figure out how
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: to land an airplane close by, bring in the heavy
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: equipment you need, get those you know, get the the
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: drums of enriched uranium.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Out of it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: The United States has done it before, not under combat,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: not under the fire, but given the dominance, given that
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: they could probably deploy a tens and helicopters. Now this
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: would be within Iran, in mountainous areas in Iran, but
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I think it's doable. Given what they've done to their
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: defense systems. They have complete air control. They could take
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: out any Iranian forces from the air, and then they
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: would have to be able to sustain positions for a
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: few days while this was excavated, taken out, and and
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: and taken out of the country. This is what these
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: guys trained for. This is what these special forces do.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, think about these ray LEAs in Syria or
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: was it two years ago?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Three years ago? Country?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: What it was a big underground bunk up that the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Iranians had in Syria where they developed developing weapons. It
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: was very deep, it was heavily heavily secured and ASOK
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: came in with special forces knocked out. The security send
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: its special forces into the inside the bunkers inside this facility,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: deep underground. They lay explosives they got out that blew
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: the whole thing up.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: It took them a few hours during the night. That
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: needs to happen.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: You know, they might have to do that as well,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: and some of the missile locations that are deep on
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: the ground. But certainly they need to either get the
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: uranium out or make it so that nobody can ever
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: get at it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure how you do that. I think it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: easy to get it out the drones.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, Iaron has drones and they can take out ground troops.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: The US better figure this out right, this is the
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: future of modern warfare. So where they have to go
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: to the Ukrainians or what you have to do, But
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: you better figure out how to provide your troops on
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the ground with anti drone technology to take out the drums.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: And this won't be this won't be a.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Riskless operation, it won't be a casualty less operation. But
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: getting the uranium out is primary strategic value and figuring
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: outw out to deal with drone threat is like number one, uh,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: you know issue for the for the Americans and the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Israelis because they're going, I mean, Israel can do it
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: in Israel? Can they do it when they project force
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: out of Israel. We'll find out, but it has to happen,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: So that would be what I suggest. Screw the negotiations.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Take out the rest of the gas, you know, Israel.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Supposedly Tehran went into darkness over the weekend electricity. There
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: was no electricity in Tehran and at least one other
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: city in Iran it lost all electricity. Nobody knows exactly
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: what happened, but supposedly these Raelis use something called the
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: graphite bomb, which is a non lethal weapon that shuts
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: down electricity without permanently damaging infrastructure.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: It dispenses conductive.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Graphite fibers over power systems, causing short circuits and widespread outages.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Now again I know nothing about this, so this is
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: what I'm reading. But they took out their EXISTI grid.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Keep doing that, plunge Iran into darkness, and I would
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: take out the rest of the gas facility. These released
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: to got forty percent of it. Take out the rest
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: of it. And again, any factory any facility where the
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: ILGC gains any kind of revenue, you know, take.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: It out, take it.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Out, you know, I I you know, I don't know
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: what caused outages. That's speculation, but that's what I've been reading.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: That was one of the speculation I read about.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: It's always claiming right now that it is basically hit,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: that it's basically close to ninety percent of all key
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: weapons development sites. So they had a list of sites
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: development sites, IGC targets other things, but of available targets,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: available targets is those basically hit ninety they've destroyed. They
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: believe the capacity of the Uranians to build weapons at.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Least anytime soon.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: This is missiles, nuclear, drones, and all other kind of weapons.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: The idea is claiming they're in the completion phase and
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: with most military and weapon production targets already being struck,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: focus is shifting and economic targets good.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: This is economic targets. This is IGC targets.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: But economic site did all a side and the whole
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: idea is to increase pressure by damaging Iran's economy and
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: by by squeezing the IGC financially.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: They took out the steel factories they need to do
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: a lot more than that.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, it seemed like when they took out the
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: steel factories, Ewon panicked a little bit. Steelers is I
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: think the second largest industry in Iran. It took out
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: the two largest, take out the rest of them, take
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: out the whole figure industry.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: So economic disruption is where they need to go.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Where they need to go from here. But you know,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: and and they need to keep the assassinations going. They
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: need to keep taking out these people is all over
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: the weekend, took out an entire complex at Hussein University
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: which was which is a central academic and operational hub
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: for EMS on Forces i r GC. Again, it is
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: where they did research and development for advanced weaponry under
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: civilian cover. They had one of these wind tunnels for
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: testing ballistic missiles. That facility was taken out and destroyed
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: over the weekend. That's a second university research facility that
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: the Israelis.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Have have taken out.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean there's more and more reports about an
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: ever going rift between people within this whatever regime exists.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You remember a few weeks ago.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: We talked about the possibility that they could coulds might
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: be being on by the CIA and the Mossad, and
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: they would come in from the rack and they would invade.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: They would basically invade and become a force that actually
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: challenged the Iranian military on IRGC and potentially could be
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: boots on the ground. Well, that has never happened, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: it's been basically now clear that it's not going to happen.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: And a lot of the stories this weekend were saying
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: that the reason for that was that the whole thing
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: was leaked, because it was leaked. Because it was leaked,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: the talks put a lot of pressure on Trump about
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: you know, they don't want a Kurdistan, they don't want
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: a Courtish autonomous region. Uh And then the Tucks also
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: put pressure on the Gulf States, who put pressure on Trump.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Uh so, and then of course he run shifted forced
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: US towards the region, which would have made it a
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: lot more difficult, although I think with their support from
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: the Israelis and Americans, very doable, I think. And then
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: of course the Curds hesitated because they don't trust Trump.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Trump has betrayed them over and over and over again.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Why would they trust Trump. So the whole Kurdish operation,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: which made sense, and uh and it could have had
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: a real impact, could have put a lot of pressure
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: on the regime.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: In key areas.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Has been called off because of a distrust of Trump,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: because he's betrayed the Curds so many times, and because
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: it was leaked, and and of course because of the
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: trucks who keep putting pressure on Trump in opposition to
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: the goods. All right, let's see if there's anything else
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: I want to Yeah, one of the lessons the Pentagon
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: has certainly learned from this war is need more production
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: of missiles. It looks like missile production in the US
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: is going to quadruple, in particular the production of precision
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: strike missiles like the Patriot missiles and the Tomahawk missiles.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: That is going to quadruple, which is huge. All right,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: let's see. Uh, Yeah, it's worth noting that you remember
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I told you that there are a number of paths
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to get around the Homo Straits. The Saudis can pump
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: oil to the Red Sea. Well, they've reached max production
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: on the Red Sea. Saw a big chunk of what
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the Saudis would export normally is now being exported, except
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: instead of going to the States of Homoes, it's going
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: to the Red Sea, up in the siouxs Canal, down
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: south to the Sea of Arabia and to Asia. So far,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the Houties are letting that traffic move across the straits
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: off of the coast of Yemen.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: That is working.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: UAE has also significantly increased a pumping of its oil
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: through a pipeline that goes to Oman and goes to
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: a port on the Oman Sea on the Mongulf that
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: is outside of the Straits of Homoes, that is south
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: of the States of Homoes. That is a maximum. Now
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: it does seem like again fog of war. I don't
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: have acute information. It seems like the Iranians have hit
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: some of the pumping stations along that pipeline, so they're
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: trying to stop it. How successful they being hard to tell. Again,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: prices of oil going up. We'll get to another reason
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: why oiler going up in a minute. But there might
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: be a number of factors playing in here. But the
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Saudis and the Yui are trying to find ways around
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: the Straits of Homos to get their stuff out as
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: quickly as possible. A number of stories from Fox News
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: from other places over the weekend, the Saudi Arabia As
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: officially confirmed that they're joining the war against the stomach
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: of Republic of Iran.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I've seen no evidence of that.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: No, you know, Saudi Arabia so teas over Iran. No
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Saudi Arabian ground troops invading, so I don't know what
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: that means. They're not flying an Iran, they're not bombing
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: anything in Iran. Hopefully they will be part of this
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: attempt to open up the Straits of Homos, but we'll
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: see if that really happens. The Saudis seemed to speak
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: with a big steak, but not actually use one.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Again, a bunch of stuff happened, A bunch of targets
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: happened over the weekend.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: The Hutis, by the way, did join the war by lobbying.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Some ballistic missiles to Israel, uh, but but not not.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: By blocking the straits.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: So far, Israel did take some damage this weekend, missiles falling,
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: you know the the again.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: The refiner in Haifa was hit, although it doesn't look
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: like it's any significant damage.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: There's some stories about Tava, the pharmaceutical company, being hit.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen any confirmation of that, so I don't
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: know if that's true. So there's been a bunch of
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: you know, there's been a bunch of damage in Israel.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: But but but as far as I know, no significant casualties.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Israel continues to destroy the missile storage facilities tunnels an Iran. Uh.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: It's hard to it's hard to, uh, you know, how
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: to tell how they do it? You know, again, the
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: tunnels are pretty deep in the mountains. But but it
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: does look like a massive explosion. A massive explosion, h
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: you know that that could only mean that it's a
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: tunnel filled with filled with missiles or other military equipment.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: So Azrael continues to search out whatever whatever facilities it
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: hasn't yet destroyed and destroyed them. What is this, one said, Yeah,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I mean it's still it might be that Israel needs
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: to drop some special forces in there to go deep
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: into the tunnels and blow them from the inside out.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: But they haven't gotten to the point where they feel
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: that is necessary yet. They might at some point.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: All right, let's see anything else to who on is
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: under attack? The I a e A, which is the
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Atomic Energy Commission from that the heavy water facility in
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Ark is out of commission. It's it's you know, struck in,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: it's out of commission. So they succeeded in putting that
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: out of commission. These reallys did. I don't know why
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: they don't strike it again just for safe measure. Maybe
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: maybe I don't think there's any fear of radiation there anyway,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Iran's the number of vistiles Iran is launching is pretty stabilized,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: as is the number of drones. It doesn't seem to
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: be going down dramatically, but it does seem to be
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: going up. You know, we will see again. Stories are
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: that the several hundred US special forces are now in
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the area, including Army rangers and Navy seals, and they're
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: all joining kind of the eighty second Airborne and the
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: and the Marines, the Airbone. Remember these are paratroopers. These
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: people could be deployed by helicopter, by paratrooping into areas
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: where they.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: You know, you will find the find uranium is actually
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: being stored.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: And then there is talk about Trump, according to Wall
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Street Journal, seeking thinking about a ground operation. This is
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: on both in the Financial Times and in a Wall
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Street Journal getting the four hundred kilograms of highly enriched
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: uranium out and using special forces to do that, all right?
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: And I think somebody asked, how do we know that
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Iran has any enriched uranium? Or we know that from
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: the IAEA, the surveillance cameras throughout Iran, and this the
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: actual surveillance in Iran. In February twenty twenty three, they
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: detected traces of uranium enriched eighty four percent of uranium
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: two thirty five that can be used for a nuclear bomp.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: It's six percent shy of weapons grade level, so it
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: wouldn't take much to get it from eighty four to
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: ninety but more importantly or more.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Established, ay.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: They based on again, they're monitoring of everything the Ranians
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: have done. They believe that the Ranians have about four
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: hundred kilograms four hundred and forty kilograms at sixty percent.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: They have one hundred and eighty four kilograms at twenty percent,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: and six thousand kilograms at five percent, and then twenty
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: three hundred and ninety one kilograms at up to two percent.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Any one of these can be used then if you
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: have the centrifuges to bring them up to weapons grade
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: and to use them for weapons grade. Again, and they
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: wore indications that Yuron had done so. With the eighty
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: four percent uranium at least on a sample. So this
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: is pretty much verified by an organization that doesn't have
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: really a.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Stake in the game. It's not Israeli, it's not American.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: The in the the International Atomic.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: You know Agency Monitoring Agency, the i a e A.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: And yeah, so there's no doubt and I don't think
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: the Uranians have denied it that they have this uranium.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: There is some doubt about whether whether the whether the
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: US and Israel know where it is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: That we don't know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: The i a e A stands for International Atomic Energy Agency.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, we don't know if anybody knows where
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Remember that after the June bombing, I mean, this is
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: typical Trump, right, So here's a great Trump story. Right
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: after the June bombing of the Iranian nuclear facility by
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: the B two s with a big bunker buster of moms,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Trump basically said, that's it. We've annihilated, annihilated their nuclear program.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: We've annihilated the uranium, the enriched uranium.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: It's all gone. The program is finished. It's done. It
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: will take decades. And right after that he said that
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: the American the Army intelligence, right, the Army intelligence basically
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: came out and said, eh, probably not. Enriched uranium is
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: probably still there. While we've done a lot of damage.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: They could probably enrich it to weapons grade within months.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: And by the way, we're not even sure where the
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: enriched uranium is exactly.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: And Trump had a hissy fit. It's like he had
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: seg theF hex seth lamblast.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: The Intelligence agency and other intelligence agencies came in and
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: said no, no, Trump is right, and there was a whole
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: to do about it. Well now, quietly or not so quietly,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Trump and everybody had basically said no, no, that that
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: intelligence reporter was absolutely right.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Trump was wrong after the June attack.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: He overblew it, he overestimated, he made it into something
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: that it wasn't, and the intelligence intelligence agencies was right.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: So typical Trump speaking about stuff he knows nothing about,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: uh uh, and and forcing trying to.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Force reality to adapt to his.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Consciousness rather than using his consciousness to understand reality. All right,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: So let's take a step back a minute from what's
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: going on in the Middle East to what's going on
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: in Ukraine Russia, or at least one element one aspect of.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: What's going on over the last few days.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: Really over the last week, Ukraine has used long range
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: long range drones and some of their domestically made missiles
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: two hit Russia's second largest oil export terminal in the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Baltic Sea. So this is where the Russians export a significant.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Amount of oil to the rest of the world.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Right and since Trump has eliminated the sanctions on Russian oil,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: they can sell in the world market to world prices.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: This has been an incredible source of revenue for the
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Russians over the last few weeks. As oil prices have
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: gone up, their revenues have gone up, and and it's
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: kind of they have recovered from from real economic challenges
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: that they were facing. Anyway, the Ukraine has managed to
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: hit this deepot this terminal three times in one week,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: seven hundred thousand bottles per day of capacity or offline,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: and they've got other terminals of also suspended loading. Overall,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: it seems like forty percent of Russia's total oil export
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: capacity is gone. Maybe that explains the rise in oil
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: you know over the today right as it sinks in
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: the Russia's all capacity is down significantly. It is claimed
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: that the repair timeline on this is somewhere between eighteen
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: to twenty four months.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, but.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: In any case, the Ukrainians have shown the capacity to
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: keep hitting this. India gets eighty percent of its Russian
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: crude from these from these ports that the Ukrainians have hit,
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Russia is making two hundred seventy million dollars a day
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: from oil exports that's been cut because of this.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: And of course what this is.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Showing is the Ukrainian capacity to use their drones. But
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: the energy energie market is taking hits, not just in
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: the Middle East but also in Russia, which is important.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Ukraine has also strike Russia's second largest oil refinery that
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: processes four hundred and twenty barrels per day, so.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: They're also striking the.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: You know, the capacity of the Russians to provide oil
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: products to their own troops and of course the export them.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: And I mean there's there's video of this thing just
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: blowing up, and uh so this this is refining you
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: that produces jet fuel for Russian military aviation and naval
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: fuel for the Russian navy, and lubricants for attack helicopters,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: well not anymore a lot less, if at all. So
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: what you're getting is the Ukrainians depleting the Russian's capacity.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: To export oil and export or products or use all products, which.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Again is probably impacting the price of oil out there
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: as we speak, and I expect more of that to come.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: A lot of countries are telling the Ukrainians stop it.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: We've got enough energy problems. Don't do it.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Stop hitting all these refineries and stop hitting the export terminals.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: We need Russian oil out there in the market. I'm
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: sure the Americans are flipping out, flipping out at the Ukrainians. Ukrainians,
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: at least for now, seems to be ignoring.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: Them and continuing to attack oil facilities that the Russians
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: have and to attack the ability to export and make
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: money off of it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: For Ukraine, it's survival.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Here's the I think deeper point that it's important to
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: make during this energy crisis. And there is an energy
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: crisis all across Asia, and it's trickling out to various
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: places around the world, and ultimately it'll affect the United States,
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: that affect Europe.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: It's going to be bad. How bad? How to tell,
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: but it's going to be bad.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Energy prices are up, the supply of energies down, and
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: we've talked about fertilizer. We've talked about, you know, helium
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: fo for micro processes. There were real consequences to what's
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: happening in the Middle East, real economic consequences across the
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: entire world. But the fault for these consequences is not
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: with this war. Everybody knew or could have speculated that
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: at some point something would happen to cause the Iranians
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: to close the Straits of Homos, or to somebody else
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: to close the Streets of Homos. I mean, we saw
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: a demonstration of that and the closing of the Straits
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: and the Red Sea by the Hooties. This is a
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: strategical liability that everybody's known about for decades, and yet
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: over the last fifteen years, you Europe in particular, but
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: also the United States as well as other countries have
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: systematically degraded the energy infrastructure, made it harder and harder
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: and harder.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: To drill due for oil, geal, financial gas.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: It turns out there's plenty of oil and natural gas
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: still in the North.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Sea which the UK is not drilling.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: It turns out there's plenty of oil and natural gas
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: in Africa, which Europe and the rest of the world
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: have been discouraging the Africans from developing.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: And whereas ten years.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Ago they would have provided the funding for that development,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: they have were drawn that funding all under the idea
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: of net zero.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: We don't need fossil.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Fuels, we were told by you know, the preachers of
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: net zero, by climate change fanatics, we don't need, we
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: don't need fossil fuels. We're going to invest in solar
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: panels and windmills, and they did. Trillions of dollars went
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: into Trillions of dollars went into this so called renewable
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: yet unreliable energy sources. And yet, in spite of the
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: trillions of dollars that went into it, the world still
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: relies on eighty seven percent of energy consumption on fossil fuels.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: And yet when countries wanted to develop their fossil fuel assets,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: they were discouraged from doing so. Great Britain not only
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: sits on oil and natural gas in the in the
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: in the North Sea together with no Way, but Great
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: Britain has immense immense fracking potential now potential reality. They
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: could fract them all. The UK is ripe for fracking.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: There is immense amounts of natural gas right there now.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: I imagine if the UK were fracking right now and
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: supplying themselves with natural gas, cost of energy would have plummeted.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: The economy would be I mean, right now, it's a
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: basket case, is a complete and ut a disaster.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Economy would be a lot better. Energy costs would be
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: a lot cheaper.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Production would be a lot more robust, and maybe they
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: could even make the helium that is so needed out there.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: They can make a lot of things once you have
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: natural gas. And yet conservative governments not Stamer. We can
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: blame Stammer all we want, but the reality is that
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: it is conservative governments of the past that shut down
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, they controlled British politics for so long. They
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: are the ones that shut down oil and gas. They're
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: the ones who shut down the idea of fracking, and
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: they're the ones who went net zero. I think about
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: Germany shutting down it's nuclear pop plans and the UK.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Not building nuclear pop plans Germany.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: Think about the fact that Germany is shut down not
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: just nuclear poplans, but has destroyed col plants. Right now,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Germany could be shifting to coal. There's still a lot
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: of coal out there. Poland is still a manufactur of coal.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: They could be inputting coal. This plenty of coal in
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Germany and they could be running the electric grid cool.
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: That's reducing they need for natural gas and oil. No,
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: so the fact that we weren't developing I mean, Japan
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: shut down its entire nucleip power electric grid after you know, uh,
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: what's his name the tsunami, right, which makes them super
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: dependent on on on natural gas.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: On the Middle East again, Germany shut down the the uh.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: They grid, you know, they the redundancies have not been
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: built in the extra you know, the diversification to.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Coal doesn't exist.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, only people building new coal plants are the
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: only people who actually diversify, and that's Chinese. Japan is
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: reopening their nucleup react as they have been doing so
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: over the last year, slowly, was systematically restarting them. This
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: crisis right now, we'll accelerate that. But imagine if we'd
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: encouraged African countries to develop their natural gas and oil reserves.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I mean Israel now.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: Is a net export of natural gas. Egypt today is
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: a net export of natural gas. These countries that are
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: nothing ten years ago, and that's because they discovered fields
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: in the Mediterranean. Some of that natural gas. Some of
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: those fields probably belonged to Lebanon into Cyprus. They should
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: be exploiting them. This is a self inflicted crisis. Imagine
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: fracking in the UK or Germany for that matter. Germany
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: itself is probably sits unmassive reservoirs of natural gas if
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: they were willing to frack it. Ukraine, one of the
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: reasons supposedly for the war is Putin's desire to take
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: over the natural gas.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Deposits.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: There is no shortage of oil and natural gas around
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: No shortage. I mean Argentina's ramping up their production. Brazil
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: has it offshore.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Guyana, this little country in South America, has massive reserves
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: of oil and natural gas offshore that they are exploiting
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: right now with American help. There now the richest on
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: a pot capita GDP. Basis the richest country in Latin America.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: But that's cheating because almost all the GDP is coming
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: from the oil. Still, most of the people, I think
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Guian are pretty poor, but the amount of money coming
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: in is amazing. Venezuela hopefully will be ramping up oil
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: you know it. There's plenty of natural gas in Australia,
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: that has been mired in legislation, sorry in in litigation.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: There's the potential for uh, there's the potential for.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: LNG coming from Australia, and they can't live up to
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: that potential because.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Because of the Greens, because of Net zero, because of
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: all that. So the West, there's nobody to blame, nobody
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: to blame.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: For this crisis other than himself. This is a self
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: inflicted crisis, all right, what else?
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Talk quickly about Lebanon. A few stories around Lebanon.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: One is, you know, so Lebanon, the Lebin government is
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: trying to confront Risbola. They're not doing a very good
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: job at it. They certainly have not uh you know,
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: they have not been willing to confront them militarily, but
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: they have tried to shut them down and they passed
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: laws that are antagonistic to Risbelah. One of the things
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: they did was they came out with their feign office
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: in Lebanon came out and said the Iranian ambassador to
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: Lebanon is kicked out of the country. It's unwelcome here,
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: unwelcome persona non grata because he supports Gasbela.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: The Iranian regime.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: Well, chrisbel I got really upset, including isabel Am members
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: of the government, and they basically said no, no, no,
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: we don't we won't allow it to leave. And he
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: is basically staying. He's staying, which is very unusual. When
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: a country kicks out the ambassador of another country, they leave.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: But Iwan's Foreign ministry has said he's not leaving, he's staying.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: PRIs Malas said, he's not leaving, He's staying. And this
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: is a real test. This is a real test for
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: the Lebanese government. Now, it's true that the Shiites in
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: the government don't want to piss off Iwon too much.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Too much, that's why they're supporting him staying.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: But other people in Lebanon and Lebledese government want to
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: cut off relations with Ion completely. So there is a
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: real tension right now in Iwan around the sorry in
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: Lebanon around their relationship with Iran in southern Lebanon. In
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: the meantime, these Raelis continue to make progress in taking
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: southern Lebanon, in basically occupying southern Lebanon. They are basically
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: heading towards the Litani River, the river that that basically
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: separates the rest of Lebanon from the south then they
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: are going around the larger, more populated areas and cities.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: There's a city on the soil on the on the coast,
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: they're going around them, heading and they and they're trying
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: to basically surround all those and occupy all the space
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: in between and occupy all the strategic high points. This
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: is a very hilly, mountainous region. I've actually been there.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: I've driven around southern Lebanon. It's very mountainous.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's not an easy region.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: To travel through.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: It's hard to tell exactly what's going on. There's no
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: question Israel is taking casualties. The therizbelas using anti tank
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: uh you know, shoulder held missiles to cause significant casualties
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: to and and and go after tanks and armored personnel carriers.
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: It's hard for me to tell how many. I've seen
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: a wide variety of reports in terms of what's actually
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: going on there, but it does seem clear that Israel is,
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: for the first time released since two thousand, occupying plants
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: to occupy the entire southern part of Lebanon and and
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: create a buffer zone between the forces and these really
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: settlements and towns in the north of Israel, this is
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: going to be a difficult campaign. They might they've already
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: reached the Chines River in a few spots, but as
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I said, very mountainous, difficult terrain to travel with tanks,
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: armored vehicles, lots of places where they can be ambushed,
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: lots of places, and you know, I remember ambushs in.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: That area in the nineteen eighty two war.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: So this this was a difficult, difficult region to traverse.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: A lot of very very bloody battles were fought here,
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: but in those days between the Israeli Army and the PLO,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: the Palestine Liberation Organization, their terrorists which occupied this territory
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: back then. So Israel's taking casualties, injured, and some are dead.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: How to tell again the numbers, how to tell how
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: many tanks are being hit and taken out of commission.
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: They're calling up more reserves. MO reserves will enter the
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: space is well. I expect within two to three months
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: will completely control the south of Elebanon and will be
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: slowly and systematically eliminating whatever elements of Grisbela are left there,
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: which is part of what they're trying to do. I
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: just in terms of Israeli internal pol I thought this
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: was just so.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, this pisses me off so much.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: There's really government passed a budget budgets yesterday.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: It is the largest budget ever passed.
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: Now you would say, oh, well that's expected, there's a
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: war going on, and but no, it's the largest budget
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: ever because in order to sustain the coalition and prevent
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: an election anytime soon delay the election as much as possible,
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: which is what Natagnell wants to do, he has had
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: to give in to the ultra orthodox religious parties and
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: pay them off with billions and billions of dollars. And
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: this was all last minute. Even the opposition was so
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: confused they lent out of voting for it, even though
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: they all oppose it. Anyway, they passed a two hundred
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: and seventy one billion dollar wartime budget, and the ultra
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: Orthodox are the winners from the whole thing. These are
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: the people who don't serve in the military, really don't
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: support the self defense of of of the State of Israel,
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: and they get rewarded with tons of subsidies and money
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: given to them. So that is I think that is
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: pretty horrific, but typical of Israeli politics.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: You know, that.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: I hope that I that one day, maybe the next government,
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: maybe there will be a government without the Orthodox ultra
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: Orthodox members in it.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: It's hard to see exactly how that happens.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: It would it would mean that many of the opposition
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: parties would have to team up with that he could
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: with Natenniel to form the next government.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: And I don't see Nataniel doing that.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: And maybe not even opposition parties agreeing to sit down
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: with Natennio.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: But it has to happen. The Aulto Orthodox.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: Need to be relegated to the margins of Israeli politics.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: There is an over a whelming majority of I call
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: it right of center, the right of center in Israel,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: which includes a number of political parties that don't get
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: along with one another, primarily because of who leads them
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: the personalities, not because of disagreements about content about about policy.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: And that is the great tragedy in Israel. All right.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: On the good news side, I think the Jai parliament
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: also passed a law that mandates the death penalty for
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Palestinians convicted of deadly terror attacks.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: Now, it's a complicated.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: Law that clearly discriminates between Palestinians and Israeli citizens.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Whether the Arab or Jew.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: It. So we'll see how it does in the Supreme
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: Court of Israel. But I think this is the right
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: direction to move in. Right Israel has no capacity to
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: resist freeing murderous terrorists when Israelis are taking hostage, for example,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: by Hamas.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: One way to avoid that is to kill them.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: Somebody is convicted of murder, a terrorism that led to murder,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: they killed, then no longer something to you know, kidnap
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: and Israeli in order to negotiate for their release. It
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: takes away a cord from the terrorists Card Arsenal of
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: getting my metaphors mixed up, but it takes away their
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: ability and their motivation to kidnap people if you've got
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: nobody to release in their place.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: So while the.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Law is probably not the kind of a law that
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: I would want, certainly not in a free country and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: a you know, on a regular basis, in a sense
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: that it has certainly discriminatory aspects, certain discriminatory aspects to it,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: I think ultimately it serves. It serves a purpose, particularly
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: in these times, until the issues with Boostinians are resolved.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: It is yeah, kill the terrorists.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: And then they can't be negotiated. Nobody can negotiate for
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: their freedom. By the way, the EU is threatened Israel
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: that if they passed this law, they passed this death penalty,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: the EUO sanction Israel.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: So we know which side EU is on. He is on. Oh,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I just wanted.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: I just want to spend a little bit of time
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: just going through a few really amazing examples that Donald
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Trump gave us last week of how ridiculously absurd he
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: is and what and how horrific is the personality and
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: his who he is, the kind of human being he is.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: He just gave such great examples of this, and again
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: when I read these statements by him, it's it just
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: stuns me that that he is president of the United States.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: Just hard for me to believe. So this one I
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: mentioned on Saturday, but I don't know a lot of
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: you were there, so I'll.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: Read it again.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: This is a couple of these were yes, were last
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: week at a speech that he gave.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: And this is one that goes to the.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: Heart of Trump's character, self esteem, kind of human being
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: he is. And for those of you out there who
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: believe that he's some kind of iron ran hero, for
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: those of you who out there will believe he's some
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: kind of model for you know, for an objectivist, that
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: he is somehow selfish and self interested in a rational sense,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: you know, try to try to rationalize this.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: This is what Trump said.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: He said, I always like to hang around with losers
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: because it makes me feel better. I hate guys that
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: are very, very successful, and you have to listen to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: their success stories. I like people that like to listen
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: to my success I mean, that's just an unbelievable sentence.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, that's straight out of straight out
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: of the villain's mouth in Atlea Shrugged, I mean, or
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: the found Dame. You can name a number of villains
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: that this would be right out from there. I mean,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: James Taggart, this is perfect, perfect somebody who wrote that
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: explains everything. Heck says the Defense a drunken TV host
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: running a war gnome at Homeland Security, famous for shooting
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: your own dog, Vance's VP, the most disliked man in America.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: Cabinets selected for obedience, well for being losers, for being losers, that's.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: What he says.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: I always like to hang out around losers because it
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: makes me feel better. Think about the self esteem of
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: a man who says that, the self esteem of a
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: man who says that, and the pure narcissism. I mean,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: it's not even hidden that when he says, I like
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: people that'd like to listen to my success.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: I don't want to listen to other peoples success.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: No, no, If I don't want to hang around people
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: most successful than me, oh no, makes me feel don't God?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: The uh the self esteem that this guy has is
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: pretty or the lack of it is pretty unbelievable. But
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: there in the same speech he said this. He said
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: this about NBS, the Conference of Saudi Arabia, who's trying
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: to get to support the war and help out with
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: the opening of the Homo straits.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: He said this about the conference.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Quote, he didn't think he would be kissing my ass.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: He really didn't. And now he has to be nice
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: to me. He better be nice to me. I guess
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: NBS is another one of those losers the Trump likes
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: to hang around with, the ass kissing kind of losers,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: the kind of losers who kissed the president of the
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: United States ass. Again, this is the leader of the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: free world, this is the President of the United States.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: What the hell?
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: And this is a guy who he needs help from
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: right now who he wants to help him. I'm sure
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: he's playing full D chess here. I'm sure that's what
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: he's doing. Oh and on top of that, on top
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: of all this, last week the presidents, it was announced
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: by the Treasury Department that the that from now on on,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: all money, you know money.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't have any any cash on me. No,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: no cash. I've got some other countries cash here. I've
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: got Turkish lira, but no dollars.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: All right, You know how you always have a signature
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: of the Treasury Secretary of the treasure he's your secretary.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: And that's been the way it's been done.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: US Treasurer and US Treasury Secretary, the ones who signed
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: American money, I think forever as far as I know, well,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: from now on, any new bills that you get, any
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: new money you get, will.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Have Donald Trump's signature on it.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: And indeed, this is to celebrate the country's two hundred
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: and fiftieth anniversary. He is so the opposite of George Washington,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: so the opposite in everything of George Washington that it's unbelievable, unbelievable.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: This is to honor the Declaration of Independence, no, I mean,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: this is the opposite of honoring the Declaration of Independence.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: And then during another another you know, he was he
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: was signing something and he goes he goes on this
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: rant about the pens, right he was, you know, and.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: So he says, you know, he goes.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: Off on this tangent because he's holding a pen, and
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: he says, which he does all the time, he says,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: this pen is an interesting example. This is the black
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: permanent market that he has between his fingers that he
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: uses to sign to sign stuff. This pen is very inexpensive,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: but it writes well, I like it, and.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: He says, I you know.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: So he but he said, you know, they don't look good.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: They don't look good. So I had to do something
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: She says.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: I called the guy. This is the guy at Choppies.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: This is the company called Choppies, And he said, I'd
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: like to use your pen, but I can't have a
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: great thing with a big s on it, saying shoppy
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: as I'm signing a one trillion dollar airplane contract to
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: buy brand new fighter jets. So the other guy says, well,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: I can make it nice. I said, well, what can
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: you do? He says, I'll paint it black. I said,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: that's nice. And I can even paint the White House
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: on it, sir if you like in gold almost real gold,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: not bad. And I can even do your signature, sir.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: So the guy said to me, you don't have to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: pay me, Sir, I'll give you them for nothing. I said, no,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want that. Let me pay you. Let me
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: pay you. I want to pay you. No, so you
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: don't have to You're the president of the United States.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: He will. He was shocked.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: Ahead of Shoppy. He gets a call. I don't even
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: know who the hell he is. He said, he's really
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: the president. No, you don't have to pay me, so
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: this is such an honor. I said, no, I want
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: to pay you, and he said what would you like
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: to pay? I said, how about five bucks a pen?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: He said that's all right. So he goes in the
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: whole rant because this is the pen he's using.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: To sign the thing.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: Now, somebody went to shoppies and showed them the transcript
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: of what Trump said and asked them if this happened,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: and they and this is the official response with Shoppy.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: We don't have any information about the conversation described. We're
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: proud to be the beloved brand trusted by so many globally.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Trump just made it up. He just made it up.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: It appears, who knows. This is the.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: Character the person we've got running the most powerful nation
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: in all of human history. And here's the sad thing
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: that the opposition to him is just as bad. So
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: I was it yesterday or Saturday? There was the No
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: Kings marches all over the country. Millions of people some
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: estimates put it eight million people marched in all different
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: cities around the country in the No Kings Marches No
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: Kings Marches. And people ask me should I go? Should
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 3: I go? And you know, I don't. I don't like Trump,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: I'm anti Trump. Should I go and participate in the
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: No King's Marches? And I said I wouldn't. I wouldn't
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: because you'd be marching with people you should despise. So
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: some of the speakers at No Kings representative Omar, you know,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: the Somali woman who supports the Ranians and supports ramas
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: over the United States and Israel. Bernie Sanders, who would
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: like to bring European style socialism to America. Bruce Spinstein,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: who is a good singer but a terrible terrible leftist.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: Oh God, way out there on the left, Jane Fonda,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: I mean this is North Korea, Jean communist, Jean Joan Baez,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Joan Baia is again a good thing. I saw life
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: once in Israel, but be a massive leftist right and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: this is this is just in one place. This is
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: in all a rally in Saint Paul, right, but this
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: is repeated all over the United States. This is in Minnesota.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: This is repeated all over the United States. Right, leftist speakers,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: leftist people marching. I saw many, many, many Palestinian flags,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: Hammas flags, Iranian flags. Oh, and then I saw a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: bunch of people with the hamon sicko. That is a
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: communist flags taking over one of the No Kings demonstrations,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: explicit communists arguing full communism.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe how Sun Paika was one of them?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: Right, You can't, I mean, I can't be in a
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: demonstration like that. You don't, even if they're the minority.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: I have no common cause with these people. I do
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: not hate Trump like they hate Trump. They we hate
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: them for completely different reasons. So I wouldn't go. I
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: don't think public demonstrations are very effective, or very useful,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: or very productive and as objectivists with such a minority,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: and they overwhelm, these leftists, overwhelm everything, you know, they flags,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just yeah, I wouldn't want to be
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: anywhere near any of these people, any of these people.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, that is indeed the news for this Monday,

  Speaker 2: talk about our sponsors quickly.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: Alex Epstein, who is uh kind of the world expert
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: out there on all things energy and everything, all the
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: stuff about energy and oil and gas and of course
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: you know unreliable like UH windmills.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: And UH and sola.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: Alex has been at the forefront of that entire debate,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: at the full front of arguing the national security UH
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: failure that is this massive investment in UH infos in sorry,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: in sun and UH and wind. And he's been proven
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: right over and over and over again. And if you

• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: Michael Williams who has a program to defend capitalism philosophically, economically, politically,
• 1:22:18

  Speaker 1: and I'll remind you again to keep doing the stickers
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: in the super chats so that we can get to
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: our goal one hundred and eighty dollars shorts and nine
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: twenty dollars questions.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: We'll get us the perfect or you know for fifty
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: dollars questions. Well, also get it there, Richard, fifty dollars,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: thank you, Richard. Do you think that if Trump bungles
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: the Iran war it will still be better for the
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: US as opposed to never starting it, or will it
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: it will a pathetic retreat after the Iranians close the straits, Well,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: they have closed the straits, lead to even less US
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: credibility than we had before the war. Well, I definitely
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: think it's going to lead to less credibility than before
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: the war. So I definitely if we bungle it and
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: have to retreat, we'll have a lot less credibility.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: I think it will provide Iran with a sense of.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: Real success and a sense that Okay, maybe we don't
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: have nukes, but we have the almost Straits and we
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: can close it at any time, and the Americans can't won't
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: do anything about it. It will completely demodelize our allies
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: in the Gulf you know, the Qataris and the Saudis
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: and the Kwadis and the Bahraines and those guys, and
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: they will have to really rethink their relationship with the
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 3: United States. So this is big. This is not a
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: trivial issue. This could be a real disaster. Now Is
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: will be safer, but America will. It will not necessarily
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: America will now place geopolitically a more difficult situation Again
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: Israe will have done what it needs to do. We
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: can the ability of the Uranians to take it, but
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: the US needs to be able to show the Wall,
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: China and everybody else that it can and open the
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: homost Straits and it can sustain that, and they will
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: not just kower before regime that it clearly has military
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: superiority over. So it's not an issue of ability, It's
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: an issue of will. And if the United States shows
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: zero will, that'll do massive damage to American credibility, you know, yeah,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: massive damage to Americas to geopolitically, to what we have
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: to deal with in the future. Winning this school, opening
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: up the Homo Straits and winning this.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: What does the exact opposite.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: It is massively beneficial, particularly with the relationship with China, right,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: particularly with the relationship with China. Richard with one hundred
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: dollars question. Wow, Richard, thank you really really appreciate this, Richard,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: I really appreciate Alex Epstein's work on nuclear and his
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: talk with Robert zubin Why is nuclear not getting more
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: attention given his its potential for both to unleash American
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: energy flourishing and reduce the world's re alliance on the
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: whim of medieval theocrats in the Middle East. Well, because
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: there is a institutionalized regulatory you know, establishment that is
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: very difficult to change, and there are environmentalist laws that
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: allow the environmentalists to try to hamper any attempt at
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: really building any nuclear pop lands. So I think that
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: in the Trump administration there is a lot of push
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: for nuclear. There is a lot of attempts to do it.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: But look, nuclear power providers are hesitant because it takes
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: a long time to build the nuclear power plants.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: And while this administration might be positive, what about the
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: next one?
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: They're hesitant because the regulator is still pretty strict and
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: it could take forever, and the costs and nobody knows
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: how to estimate what.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: Those costs will be. So unless there's some.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: Verifiable way to convince investors that no, we have turned
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: a corner and we're doing nuclear. We're going all in
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: a nuclear and we're going to reduce the regulations. We're
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: going to simplify, we're going to streamline, and we're dedicated
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: to nuclear, and we're going to get rid of the regulations,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: their environmental regulations, build baby, build nuclear power plants. We
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: need a strategy to make that, to implement that, and
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 3: that takes a lot of political will and there are
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of interest groups that fight against it. And look,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: Trump doesn't care. It's not like he's pro nuclear, he
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 3: just doesn't care. So he's open to nuclear if the
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 3: nuclear guys are talking to him, and he's open to
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: not doing nuclear if somebody else is talking to him
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: who doesn't like nuclear. So you can't get this real,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: dedicated push that is going to be requiet in order
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: to overcome what fifty years of anti nuclear thinking. Regulating,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: you know, really a tradition now now and in Europe,
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 3: you know there's there's some dabbling with nuclear. The Edges
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: Fans still is building nuclear, the Scandinavians are building nuclear.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: Germany of course shut down those nuclear pop plants and
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: is unlikely to reopen them, although they talk about maybe
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: they will. But they need to build new ones, modern ones,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 3: better ones. So does the rest of Europe. But you
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: know the Spanish and Spanish all in on windmills and
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: solar uh, and it's it's stony. The ones who really
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: have a nuclear power, you know, industry are the.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: Other French other French.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: Shockingly, all right, Richard is just taking us over a goal.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you, Richard.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: So we are on progress to achieve our March goal,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: which is going to be tremendous. So Richard asks also
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: if we are going so, if we're going to have
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: any hope of reshowing American manufacturing, we need to unleash
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 3: nuclear energy and accelerate building, accelerat building pipelines and LG
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: expert triminos. I'd like to sponsor show on nuclear if
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 3: you open to it, how to unleash it, the benefits,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: et cetera.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to do that.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: So send me an email and let me know the details,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: even a list of questions you would like answer it,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: and we could do that. But yeah, I mean, I'm
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: not big on on showing. I'm big on friends showing,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: but on an on showing, I don't think it's that
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: important to on shore industry and I don't think it's possible.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: But if we want to maintain what we have, if
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: we want to make for example, all these I mean
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: all these AI ai E facilities, what we need is
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: small nuclear pop plants to provide them with electricity. Like
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: if each one of these massive, this massive silver farms
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: for AI it just had a nuclear power plant attached
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: to it, you know, we'd be fine, right, and that
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: industry will take us into the future. So yeah, nuclear power,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: nuclear power is I think that technology exists for it.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: I think the costs of being driven down.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: What we need is the regulators in the state and
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: the environmental is to get out of the ways it
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: can happen. But it would make the data centers that
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: everybody's talking about. It would make them feasible, make them doable,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: Whereas right now it's going to be tricky. They're going
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: to have to find all kinds of other ways to
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: power them, and a lot of those ways are going
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: to be dependent on fossil fuels, which are going to
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: be whose price at least is going to be dependent
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: on global markets, which are influenced by what happens in
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: the Middle East. Nuclear is not particularly if we allow
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: for mining of uranium in the United States. We don't,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: by the way, so we get our uranium from Russia.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: There's another bottleneck for you. We get our uranium from Russia.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 3: So one of the things that would have to happen
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 3: if you really want nuclear in the US is you
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 3: would have to also completely revamp, completely revamp our you know,
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: mining regulations and our production regulations so we can mine
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: uranium and then turn it into useful in a power plant.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: So all of that, whether it's uranium, thorium, whatever, whatever
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: you have to do.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: We have to mine.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: We have to be able to mine railroath materials in
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: the US. We have to mine all the things that
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: we need. Mining is more important than manufacturing. So or
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: we have to be able to get supplies of uranium,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: railroad materials, and others for friendly countries. For example, Ukraine
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: has a lot of these minerals, so we should maybe
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: be friendly with countries, which is again not this not
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: this administration. All right, thank you Richard. Wow, you made
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: my day, really appreciated. Two hundred and fifty dollars, so
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: almost half of everything we've brought in from super.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: Chat was just Richard.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: So that's fantastic, right, it's according to sources in Israel,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: because Iran today struck Hypher's o refineries. You know, they
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: view this as permission, if you will, to expand their
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: bank of targets in Iran. Now they can't yet. Trump
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: has not given them yet authority to attack the oil
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: and power, but they will find other things that they
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: can that they can go after, not only regime assets,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: but also they will look for all kinds of other infrastructure,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 3: other industries, other things like that, which.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: I think is right.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, the only way they're going to get Iran
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: to bend the knee in any kind of way.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: Is to destroy their economy, and they should be doing that.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: It looks like more a tens a tens thunderbolt to
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: attack aircraft are being sent from the United States to
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 3: the region. All right, let's continue with the questions. How
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: many objectivists are there in the world? Oh God, I
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: don't know. This is some author one hundred thousand tops.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: If we had a few million, it would make sense.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: These low numbers just people are really stupid and switched off. Well,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 3: switched off. I don't think stupid, but switched off. I
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: think that's right. People are switched off. If you read
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: the missing link behind man, you realize how and why.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: But I don't know what the number is, and I
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: don't know how you define objectivist? What do you define
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: as an objectivist? And why are you worried about this?
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: If the question is how many people are impacted by objectives?
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: How many people are influenced by objectivism, then it might
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: be millions. But then it's how deeply does it go?
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: How influenced are they? You know, these are difficult questions,
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: and we keep growing, keep adding people, keep influencing more.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: One day there'll be a tipping point and the world
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: will change, the world will change in our direction. Michael,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: you said you support the three strikes laws they add
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: in California. Any three criminal offenses should get your life
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: in prison or just three felonies. If you get convicted
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: of shoplifting three x, should you do life? No three
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 3: criminal offenses? It should basically be violent crime. You know,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: rape murder obviously should go to jeff a fa anyway, Buglary,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't know what that if criminal offenses
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: versus felonies. I don't know the exact legal definitions of
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: these things, so basically, any serious offense shoplifting should not count,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: although as you have more shoplifting offenses, the penalty should
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: be harsher and harsher and harsher, and at some point, yeah,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: you should spend the rest of your life in jail
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: if you can't stop author Are the American people really
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: such heroic individuals or anti intellectual thugs who annointed Donald
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: Trump as an emperor? Well, I mean it depends some individualistic, heroic,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: individualistic startup entrepreneurs who build companies who create stuff that
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: you know, that that creates stuff from nothing, that build
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: companies that create values, and some are you know, proud
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: boy thunk thugs who want to you know, over to
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 3: an election and elect thuggish Trump to power. So you
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: can't generalize over the American people. You never could, certainly
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: can't today. You have anyway from antifa to you know,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: fascist thugs to everything in between. But also not in between,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: that is people on completely different access who are actually producing,
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: creating building, And most Americans go to work and they
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 3: work hard and they try to make the best for
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: their families. And then then not in either one of
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: those categories. All right, um, Michael, If mankind suffers from
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: the missing link that prevents most people from thinking abstractly,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: why did Marxism catch on the idea of class struggle?
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Is an abstraction?
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: Well not really not if you really dig into it.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: How many people can actually explain to you what Marx
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: actually stood phone represents. What Marxism did is it captured
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: the intellectuals, and they need intellectuals ultimately came up with
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: great slogans that brought it down to the level at
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: which individuals, uh, you know, unthinking individuals on non abstract
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: thinkers could actually absorb you know, uh, and and and
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: they emphasize those slogans, slogans related to inequality, slogans related
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: to the exploitation of the workers. But but how many
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: of the the people, how many people know about Marx's
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 3: you know, dialectical theory of history or or his you know,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: his view of how the you know, of of economics
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: the economic rationale, and and how you know, how the.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: God what am I thinking?
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: The politarian the dictators of the politaan would evolve, and
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: what even means to talk about dictation of politarian?
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: Very very few, very very few.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: So it's this is that role of the intellectuals to
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: translate those abstractions into something ordinary people can't understand. Clark,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: while Trump would appear to be a mindless brute, clearly
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: a lot of thought and reason needed to be applied
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: to achieve.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: What he has in life. Well, I don't know if
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: that's true. I mean, he inhabited a lot of money.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: He went out there and.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: Speculated on real estate, and he and many of them,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: he succeeded. What extent did he have to apply reason
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 3: and thought deeply as hard to tell. And you know,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 3: at the end of his career in real estate he
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: had about his money about as much money as he
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: had when he started. If you if you adjust for
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: the increase in the value of real estate in New
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 3: York City, in Manhattan, if he's just gone out and
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: taken his inheritance and bought a bunch of commercial real
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: estate in Manhattan, he would have done as well as
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: he did by buying, selling, investing in casinos, doing all
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: the stuff that he did. And a lot of his
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: wealth came from his TV show and came from his
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: ability to brand his name, the Trump brand, his ability
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: to brand, So I mean, yeah, some thought went into it,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: but now much.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: And you know, he has.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: An ability to understand people and to give people what
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 3: they want, kind of a secondhand and understanding of what
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: people desire. He's very good at marketing as a consequence,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: very good at marketing, and that's his real strength.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, he was honest as a businessman.
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 3: He was you know, he was not the kind of
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 3: person that I think anybody rational would want to do
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: business with, right, Liam, Part one is an anti Semitic
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 3: coalition arising in America. You have the gen Z antisemitism
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: of nik Foyentis and the anti Semitism of declining aristocracy,
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson. Anti semitism always works to create a coalition.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: You have Street Gutta Crackpoint antisemitism, and then there's the
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: more respectable antisemitism like Henry Ford to Tucker Causon, and
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: it comes together in the creation of an anti Semitic
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 3: political force. I mean, I think right now it looks
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: like the anti Semets are trying to be a political
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 3: force within the left and within the right, and the
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: question is going to be.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 2: To what extent can they be? Right? You know, it's it's.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: It's the far left in the Democratic Party, it's the
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 3: far right in the Republican Party. And the question is
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: going to be as we move forward, to what extent
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: they go to be a force within those parties. Clearly,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 3: anti Semitism is what a lot of people attract it to.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: They watch it, they consume a lot of antisemitism, right,
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: But whether they're willing to actually act on it in
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: a political sense, that is hard to tell at this point,
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: and particularly on the right. So we will see.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, Techo Cosson, on the one hand, is very popular.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: On the other hand, Maga mostly supports, for example, this war,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: where's Taco Cosson opposes it. So how many people watch
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 3: Tucker Cosson, how many people really support him agree with him?
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 3: It's I don't know, But yes, we're seeing the rise
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 3: of an anti Semitic force. We're seeing the fact that
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 3: anti Semitism fuels the far right and the fall left,
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 3: and the fall left has anti Semites in Congress, Ila
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: Omar and and and others uh anti Semites, And you know,
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 3: we'll see what kind of an impact they have on
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: the culture more broadly and on politics ultimately. But it
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: is something to watch, and it is very, very very concerning, Catherine,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: how bad the lack of helium will be for the
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 3: world economy in your view, which countries are likely to
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: fill the gap? Well, I mean, I think the United
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 3: States is probably filling the gap.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: How much relium production is in the United States, but
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 3: the United States obviously is a producer of LNG helium
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: I guess as a byproduct of that process. My guess
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: is the US will fill in. Anybody who does, who
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: is shipping LNG is going to fill that gap.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: Egypt might be able to. I don't know if they
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: have again.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 3: The production facilities, but it's gonna be a hit for
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: chip manufacturers in Taiwan and South Korea, which means it
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 3: will be a hit for anything that uses chips. Exactly
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 3: how big of a deal that will be qua global
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 3: economy is, as I think, for me at least, very
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 3: hard to tell, very hard to tell, but it's not trivial.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 3: Stephen Hoppup, curious your thoughts on the Spielbook movie Close Encounters,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 3: an interesting different movie about communication, connection and being afraid
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: of the unknown and following your passion even if everyone
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: thinks you're crazy.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like Close Encounters. It's got a
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: bit of a weird mystical almost element to it.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: But it is about the things that you say, communication connection.
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: It's certainly about somebody who goes against everybody, thinks he's
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: crazy and insists and sticks to his guns. I think
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 3: it's one of the benevolent kind of Steven Spielberg movies.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: But it definitely has a tinge of the mystical, which
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: is hard to explain and has. But yeah, it's it's
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 3: it's a fun and interesting, I think interesting movie.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 2: Spielberg's early movies were quite quite good. All right, let's see.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: All right, Steven says, if you're in Europe on May sixteenth,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 3: Alma Deutsch will be conducting at the Upper Gala in Vienna.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I will not be in Europe May sixteenth. I
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 2: will be home. Yes, I'll be home after a lot,
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of travel. Like like I like numbers.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 3: Maybe Trump wants an off switch for Chinese oil.
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: I think he does.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 3: But the solution to that is regime change and bringing
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 3: the new regime under American influence. It's not bombing all
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 3: of Iran's oil that would spike prices that would be
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 3: bad for China, but also be I think bad ultimately
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: for the US economy. So I don't think that's it. Oh,
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Which one was Steven Pettit? Oh, the Close
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 3: Encounters with Stephen Pettit, Sorry about that. Stephen Harper was
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 3: Alma Deutsch. So Steven Pettitt, Yeah, I mean I like
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: Closing Comers. It's it's I haven't seen him many many years.
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: I'm curious what I think of it today. But when
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 3: I watched it, we watch it two or three times
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 3: in the eighties, I really liked it.
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: Thought criminal.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 3: Is the actual proof that the nuclear material exists? Yes, again,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: the IEA whatever has a literal proof of that, and
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 3: it's not. And I think the Uranians have admitted it.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 3: So I don't think that's controversial that it exists. The
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: question is where is it? How much there is that
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 3: is that?
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: Nobody knows? H I don't know.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 3: Maybe the intelligence agency knows, James. They say loneliness is
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 3: often the product of a gifted mind. Any truth to this, Well,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 3: there's a sense which is true, that is that the
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 3: culture generally we treat almost gifted minds badly and isolate them.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think it has to be that way. I
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 3: don't think a healthy culture is that way, but it's
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 3: certainly in the world we live that that that is
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: certainly part of it, part of what's going on. It's
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 3: it's the people, through envy resentment treat the people with
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 3: gifted minds badly, and that brings about loneliness. Michael, should
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 3: a I be prohibited from making scia oh child porn?
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 3: Or would the First Amendment have to protect it? I mean,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: I I really haven't thought about it. I mean, it,
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 3: who the hell wants child pone?
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: Nobody.
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 3: But on the other hand, who's who's the victim? There's
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: no real victim, but it's it's so disgusting that, you know,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: I'd have to think about it.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: So given that you're not abusing anybody to get it,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: maybe you can't ban it.
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe you can't bean it.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 3: So I mean, there shouldn't be any protection for child
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 3: porn that uses children. But if it's just not just's,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 3: if it's created by AI on what basis whose rights
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 3: are being violated? I guess you would have to allow it.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 3: That's my tentative answer. Harper Campbell, is there an objectives
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 3: community in Puerto Rico, any monthly meetup groups. I don't
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 3: think so there are objectivists here, but I don't think
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 3: there's any objectives community and meetup none that I've been
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: invited to anyway. What's your favorite brand of beer and Scotch?
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 3: I don't drink either one of those. If I was
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 3: going to drink anything, it would be Scotch, but I
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 3: don't really enjoy it that much, and there's too much alcohol,
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: and I don't like beer.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe if you pushed me at a Guinness.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: From the tap Inublin, but I generally don't like beer. Liam,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: if the state of Israel had existed during the rise
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 3: of Hitler, do you think Mossad would have taken him out.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. I hope so. I hope so.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: I assume so, but I have no idea. It was hard.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: People tried to take him out, very hard. Michael.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: These no King's anti Trump rallies seem eager to oust
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: the king so that they can install a different king.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 3: I mean so many of them authoritarians of the leftist
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: kind that yeah, they would, they would, they would bring
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: in their own kind of king, right, Yuan did you
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: see my email about Drisky and Erica Erica? Yeah, I
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 3: saw it. I don't completely understand it. I mean, I
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: don't know what he's making fun of. It's a picture.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 3: It seems like a cheap, a cheap like thing. I don't, Yes,
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't really, I don't see a video.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 3: I just see a photo. Did you send me If
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 3: there's a video that has more content that I can
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 3: respond to, that would be fine. But it seems like
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: a cheap shot, just portraying her fat, with her tongue
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: out and stuff like that.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if if, if.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: There's a link to something more with more meat that
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 3: I can talk about, that would be good. James, how
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 3: can we tell all our allies in every country around
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: the world not to deliver energy to Cuba and then
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: allow Russia. I do not understand it's Trump. Trump likes Russia.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 3: He does what Putin asks him to do. This yep,
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 3: So Russia's the living oil to keep up nobody else's
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 3: that's the bottom line. I don't have a better explanation
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 3: than that. Pigrypta. What's the best way to support ice
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: protests but stay away from the crazies of no King?
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, speak up. Just speak up and support.
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 3: Speak up against ice, and support people filming ICE and
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 3: demonstrating ICE.
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: But you don't have to actually participate to support them.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: Just speak up.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 3: About it, talk about it when the opportunity arises. Stephen Harper,
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 3: any theories regarding these reports of some strange videos of
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: UFOs in the past few years, given that they're really
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 3: not aliens or that, for that matter, demons. I have
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 3: no theory. I haven't seen the reports. I haven't studied
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: the reports. I'm sure wherever in the Air Force or
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: in the CIA or whatever, they have theories.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 3: I don't I've never looked into it really in any
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 3: kind of significant way. This against Stephen Pettitt, just I
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 3: get it right. So I've never been interested enough to
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 3: look and I have no theories. And my guess is
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 3: there isn't one theory. There's just different things that explain
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 3: different you know, whether it's some kind of you know,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 3: drone or somebody testing out some new technology, or it's
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 3: just some kind of weird thing that's happening with light
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 3: Capitalist Spice says for the Nuclear Show, Thank you, Kiki.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 3: What happens to the markets of both sides, both sides
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 3: fully hit oil well, all prices go up a lot.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 3: All prices go up a lot, And just like they
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 3: did in the Gulf War, when when the Kuwaiti or
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 3: fields will put a blaze and for a while oil
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 3: becomes very expensive. Potentially you get a globe oversession, but
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 3: it's not going to be huge. Right again, supply shocks
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 3: can you know you can adjust to them. You know,
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 3: you get you get more capacity out of the places
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 3: that still can pump oil out, and people demand less
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 3: of whatever it is that you're doing, and things rebalance
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 3: until the ore comes back online. That would be my guess.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 3: It would be bad, though it won't be good. Harrison.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 3: If you could just say one thing to every single
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 3: person who argues that that does not Americas woll what.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 2: Would it be? I don't know one thing.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 3: They killed Americans and intend to kill many many more
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: dedicated to that, and they need to be stopped.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: Something like that. Newly that what.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 3: Raiser do you use the shaving I lose an electric razer.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 2: What do you call it?
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 3: Phillips? I think it's a phillips. I've used the same
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 3: basic raises since.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: I was sixteen.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 3: You know, the three had electric craser. Michael, how is
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 3: it even possible we can lose the Iran War. The
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 3: IOGC is sympathetic because we don't have the will to
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 3: fight it properly, and we haven't developed or we're not
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 3: willing to execute the appropriate strategies. We didn't think in
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 3: advance about what would be needed. But there's no reason
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 3: in the world we should lose this, and we won't
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 3: lose it. But there's no reason in the world we
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 3: should even have a stalemate with them, Vikram, are you
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 3: surprised at the personal level at the resilience of the
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 3: Iranian regime?
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: A little bit?
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yes, they have survived more than I
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 3: thought they would. I thought by now they'd be fighting.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 3: And I think the thing that the reason is, and
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: really it's one thing. It's the straits of homos. It's
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 3: the fact that the US didn't have a plan, didn't
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 3: prepare for it, didn't execute, didn't make sure it was open,
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 3: didn't make sure to keep it.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 2: Open and give them a.
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 3: Huge bolster to their confidence, give them kind of the
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 3: confidence to keep going because they've got this massive Trump
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 3: card over Trump.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 2: That I think is the cause of it.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: But yes, they've they've held out more than I expected.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 3: But again, I think that's I thought Trump would have
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 3: a plan, not Trump, the Pentagon, whatever plan. And maybe
• 1:58:00
